What Makes Us Different
Yoga For First Responders (YFFR) developed a unique Protocol for teaching yoga and mindfulness based stress reduction training to first responders that is based on traditional Hatha yoga along with principles from Trauma-Informed Yoga. YFFR differs from "regular yoga" or a community yoga gym or studio for the following reasons:
-
YFFR has an official Protocol that all of Teachers are trained in and use that is safe, consistent, practical and effective
-
YFFR Protocol is job-specific and culturally informed for public safety
-
YFFR works under Service Agreements for the purposes of quality control, tracking mission and sustainable programming
-
YFFR manages Teachers with Teacher Agreements for consistent delivery of training methodology
-
YFFR has structured curriculum for academies, in-service training, critical incident stress management, peer support as well as open department classes
-
YFFR works with department budgets to make our program available to any size department
-
YFFR does not require experience in yoga to attend any of our trainings, let us be your first yoga teacher!
